Mary Gray To Present
Three Free Programs
For Housewives
Women everywhere are being told
that the hnportant part they can
play in the all-out war effort lies
in building good home defense.
Good home defense is dependent
on good food, properly selected,
prepared and served, it is pointed
out by Miss Mary Gray, who will
conduct The Tribune's free cook-
ing school next week.
First of the three sessions is
scheduled at 7:45 p. m. Monday,
Mar. 16, in the Etta Dale Junior
hlghschool auditorium, while others
will be conducted at 2 p. m. Tues-
day, Mar. 17. and at 2 p. m. Wed-
nesday, Mar 18.
"Scientific research in foods has
revealed many startling facts In
the past few years, all for the
benefit of the woman in the home
responsible for food preparation,"
Miss Gray declares. “So rapid has
been the change that women
everywhere are Joining nutrition
classes to obtain this information.”
News From Food Front
In presenting the cooking school
program tills year. The Tribune is
attempting to make some of this
information available to its read-
ers. In presenting "Cookery Com-
muniques,” Miss Gray will bring
El Reno homemakers the last word
in nutritional information by show-
ing its practical application in
everyday meal preparation.
“In other words, it Is news
from the food front,-' says Miss
Gray. "We will attempt to define
some of these terms that seem
strange but in actuality we have
Just failed to recognize their im-
portance.
There will be “Cookery Com-
muniques" on food substitutions
uses of products formerly over-
looked, cooking methods to pre-
serve food values, dishes and meabj
that are nutritious and yet those
wlilch have pocketbook appeal due
to the economies advocated.
Every homemaker will want to
be present for every session in
order not to miss a single com-
munique that will be valuable to
her home cooking.
Miss Goss To Assist

graduate of Kansas State college

minence of highly important op-

between the desolate North Cape,
at the top of Norway, and the j
granite cliffs of the Russian Mur- j
mansk coast.
Major air and naval operations j
are underway involving German j
capital ships, Britsh torpedo planes, j
other British warships and United j
Nations cbnvoys.
These cannot be explained en- j
tlrely by movement of allied sup-
plies to Archangel. More than onrk
competant analyst is considering
whether the western allied powers
will pound a wedge of well equip-
ped power into the top of Europe
this summer.
Finns Weary of War
Restoration of Murmansk as a
Soviet supply port, eliminating the
time-consuming 500-mile water haul
into the White sea to the Arch-
angel railhead, and a new threat
to Germany herself would be aims
of such a maneuver.
Finland is reported war weary
and Norwegian resistance to Nazi
rule is so strong as to call for
repeated disciplinary actions.
Free Europe and International
Review, published in London, said
that an allied spring offensive in
the west should have a good
chance for success.
Would Assist Russians
It said the forces now concen-
trated in the British Isles pre-
sumably are stronger than those
tile Germans have arrayed from
Norway to the Spanish frontier.
Arctic action by British and the
United States might supply just,
tlie assistance the Russians need
to turn the whole German north-
ern flank.
A common U. S.-Brltlsh-Russiaij
fighting front could be thrown
quickly across the thin tip of Fin-
land and this front in time might
provide the impetus to turn the
flank and collapse it upon the
Baltic states and East Prussia it-
self.

—Drastic business and industrial
readjustment was called for today
by Clive E. Murray, state draft
director, to release men for the
armed forces and still maintain
war production.
"No employer engaged in essen-
tial production should hesitate to
request deferment from induction
into the armed forces for any
employe who is necessary in that
production and who cannot be re-
placed immediately,” Murray said.! Supplies Mailed Today To
"On the other hand, no em
ployer can be permitted to selfish-
ly retain an employe who can be
of greater service to the nation in
its armed forces and who can be
replaced readily by a man other-
wise deferred for military service
or by a woman.”

Fine Is Assessed
In Illegal Driving
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Heavy U. 8. army bombers were
credited today with blunting the
spearhead of a Japanese invasion
fleet sailing down the coast of
New Guinea toward Australia, while
in Tokyo Japan's premier general,
Hideki Tojo, boasted that allied sea
power had been crushed in the
far Pacific.
A British broadcast quoted Tokyo
headquarters as acknowledging that
three Japanese ships had been
sunk or beached and six others
damaged, Including a cruiser, in
landing operations on Australian
mandated New Guinea.
“The main fleet of the United
States and Britain already has dis-
appeared from the surface of the
Pacific.” Tojo aserted in a speech
celebrating the conquest of the
Dutch East Indies.
Americans Return Intact
In Washington, the army re-
ported that eight big U. 8. bombers
dealt a staggering blow to Japan-
ese ships Tuesday in New Guinea
waters, unloading 18 tons of bombs
which left two vessels sinking, four
in flames, and another stranded
on the beach. The American forces
returned intact.
An Australian government spokes-
man declared the assault was “only
the beginning” of allied counter-
blows to snag Japan's threatened
Invasion of the vast Australian
mainland.
Unlessthe air. naval and land
strength of allied forces In Aus-
tralia is materially greater than
was employed in Java, any major
Japanese arnp striking there would
have a good chance of establish-
ing another beachhead in the
march southward from Luzon.
India In Turmoil
While British and Imperial forces
joined with Chinese in Burma to
stem the Japanese advance toward
India, and the united nations look-
ed anxiously toward Ceylon as a
point of danger, the internal sit-
uation in India appeared to be
growing more uncertain as religious
cleavages split the nation.
As Britain strove to rally In-
dia's millions to stand off the Jap-
anese menace, Mohammed All Jin-
nah, president of the All-India
Moslem league, asserted that the
only solution of the Indian problem
acceptable to his organization would
be “India’s division into separate
autonomous Hindu and Moslem
states."
M. K. Gandhi, the supreme lead-
er of Hindu nationalists, professed
to see no sign of settlement. He
said that Britain must confess the
“greatest crime against India.”
which he defined as imperialism,
and undo it.
